Atlantic Yards building collapse

Sign Up for the undefined Newsletter

A Prospect Heights building that Forest City Ratner began demolishing to make way for its Atlantic Yards project started to partially collapse this morning. No injuries have yet been reported. Forest City began demolition work for its stadium/office/housing mega-complex on Monday following a judge’s ruling that the firm could begin razing buildings despite the legal challenges the project currently faces. The collapsed building is the former Ward Bakery, which preservationists unsuccessfully lobbied the city to save from destruction because of its historical and architectural significance. more [Curbed]
